Little Bear's southwest ridge from the San Luis Valley made prior to an attempt to put my 4x5 view camera on top of South Little Bear. The high winds seen in this image prevented me from accomplishing that goal.

I need to hang out with one of you classy photogs one of these days. I think I'm getting closer but there's much that my photography skill set is still lacking. I'd very much like to improve.

Like most things, good photography is difficult. I've found the site below to be great for composition tips, if you want to get into photography a little more.

This one was taken last year, but I like it because it could have been taken 100 years ago and looked exactly the same.

Subject matter slightly off topic for mountaineering, but I think most of us can relate.
I loved this shot last weekend, taken just east of Tunnel #3 at the bottom of St. Mary's Trail.
